The “vocally brilliant and dramatically fearless” (The New York Times) countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo joins forces with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields for this special Easter-themed concert.
The title role star of Philip Glass’ Akhnaten, and recognised as one of the world’s leading performers of new music, Roth Costanzo will sing a programme combining some of the most beautiful and contemplative traditional Easter music with new music written specially for him.
The programme will also include Hadyn’s Symphony No. 26 ‘Lamentatione’, which was written for Easter week, incorporating a melody derived from an old plainsong of the Passion of Christ with this lament is woven across the movements.
Academy of St Martin in the Fields is the principal orchestral partner of the St Martin-in-the-Fields, which is its historic home
